I'm having the same problem.  This code from
extra/libkexiv2/libkexiv2/kexiv2.cpp
 is related:

        // If XMP sidecar exist and if we want manage it, parse it instead the
image.
        if (d->useXMPSidecar4Reading)
        {
            QString xmpSidecarPath = sidecarFilePathForFile(filePath);
            QFileInfo xmpSidecarFileInfo(xmpSidecarPath);

            if (xmpSidecarFileInfo.exists() && xmpSidecarFileInfo.isReadable())
            {
                // TODO: We should rather read both image and sidecar metadata
                // and merge the two, with sidecar taking precedence
                image = Exiv2::ImageFactory::open((const char*)
                        (QFile::encodeName(xmpSidecarPath)));
            }
        }

We're not storing the orientation in XMP at all, so unless we merge the data,
we will have no orientation data.
